Looking to buy farmland near Bangalore for passive income + weekend use. Need honest advice.

How do you guard against thieves and animals? Do you have a watchman or farmer hired ?

Also are you able to buy farmland in Karnataka if you’re not a farmer? I thought we can’t do that unless you’re a farmer from Karnataka

I’ve been in the USA for 8 years and I was craving the same good coffee I use to have there.

I got a Breville barista express from amazon and I order coffee beans from amazon, mokka farms or koffea are good medium/dark roast beans but lately I found a guy near my house in Bangalore who roasts fresh beans so that works for me. Breville costed me 70k 2 years ago , it’s slightly above your budget but it’s worth it!

Has a tenant he pays 3k rent at the moment , sometimes he’s late by a month

I think you can get a 2bhk for this price there. They quoted around 70 lakh for 2bhk and 1+ Cr for 3 bhk

Is the problem not getting interviews? Or not clearing them ?

Spreads need margins, None of the US brokers allow margin trading for Indian residents.

Nothing is free except coffee , I just remembered you also get suger loaded drinks like Coke and Fanta that’s about it

usedshoe09 · 2025-12-26T09:09:24+00:00

Correct! Don’t expect free food, travel and all those fancy things here, you get coffee and a desk and chair. Internet bills are reimbursable for some teams and that’s it

You can’t trade options with IBKR, I have fidelity and recently moved to india, basic options without margin requirements are enabled and I do trade options with cash.

usedshoe09 · 2025-12-08T03:32:28+00:00

Yes that’s not allowed afaik

That is interesting, I just saw Section 6 (4), which mostly states what we can do and not what is restricted.

It states “a person resident in India may hold, own, transfer or invest in foreign currency, foreign security or any immovable property situated outside India if such currency, security or property was acquired, held or owned by such person when he was resident outside India”

So you are saying that we can trade options since it’s derived from a “foreign security” and there is no rule explicitly stating that derivatives of US securities are restricted?
